The recent budget news and my Sprint's impending 40th next year have prompted me into the loft to check the history files. I obviously didn't look properly when I first received the previous owner data from the DVLA when I purchased the car in the 90's because on closer inspection it appears that the date of registration is three months before the car was built. (Poor quality photo attached)
Could that be right or is it more likely to be a typo?
Not possibly because a car is registered to a chassis (vin) number which isn't issued until the car leaves the production line
I would say the build date is wrong as would the factory be operating on 31st Dec?
What does the V5C state for first reg date?
